Tenderfoot Electronics – MORSE
CW Sender, Receiver & Networked Instrument
MORSE brings the timeless language of Morse code into your Eurorack system, bridging 19th-century communication with 21st-century modular synthesis. It functions as a CW sound source, a rhythmic gate generator, a practice tool, and even a collaborative instrument via its built-in Wi-Fi WebChat mode — letting you exchange real-time Morse signals with other users worldwide.
From traditional keying practice and message playback to live audio decoding and spectrum analysis, MORSE is as versatile as it is unique. Use the built-in paddle or straight key, connect your own external key, or trigger it via gates and audio inputs. With both audio and gate outputs, it integrates seamlessly into creative, rhythmic, and experimental patches.
